I am in the middle of my first backup of system files.  Its never been backed up and I am on my 15th disk and am only half way through.  After this I want to create a system recovery set.   Can I stop the backup and restart it or do I need to continue with backup until complete.    I am a casual user of the computer BTW   Thanks

If the backup is using DVD's that will be a chore.  It might be better to use an external hard drive for the complete backup, but either should be OK.  I would not change in the middle, however.  I would let the backup finish.
